Historical Christmas at RAW-Gelände

In 2025, the Historical Christmas took place for the ninth time at the RAW-Gelände. As in previous years, around 40 to 60 craft and tavern stalls opened their doors from Monday to Sunday, focusing on historically staged handicrafts, medieval gastronomy, and a stage program featuring fire jugglers, hurdy-gurdy players, and storytelling sessions.

The admission structure – free on Mondays, €4 on weekends – and the opening hours remained stable. The market had thus established itself in Berlin's Christmas market calendar as an alternative to the more traditional city center stalls (Gendarmenmarkt, Charlottenburg Palace): smaller, more atmospheric, with a clear staging. The 2025 edition paved the way for the anniversary edition in 2026.
